It's really a tough one between God of War and Red Dead Redemption 2 this year.

I think it will come down to see if the multiplayer to RDR2 is what sets it apart from GoW

I think RDO will be seen as a separate thing to RDR2.

It probably had the most influence over gamers and the industry this year. Was also the first game to do cross play between all the major console.

Love or hate the game, I can see why maybe it's worhy.

Personally, I think God of War should win. One of the best games this generation and a true work of art.

Yeah, didn't see that one coming! I thought for sure GoW was getting, considering it dominated the rest of the awards.

Yea, unfortunately it's fan voted and Fortnite has the largest fanbase across all platforms, mobile included. Damn shame.

Popular opinion, nothing to do with actual level of achievement/quality.

Red dead Redemption 2 was not included in other voting categories. Only games launched before October were considered for voting categories. They just included it in critics choice category.

Current GOTY race:
God of War: 3 GOTY awards
Fortnite: 1 GOTY award
RDR2: 1 GOTY award.

Will be interesting to watch as it continues to unfold.

Start counting from now. All these awards till now only considered games launched before October. Rdr2 was not a nominee in any of them except TIME magazine's list. It just somehow won critics choice award.

Don't be surprised when the numbers keep piling up for God of War. I've heard tons of games press from various sites saying it's still their GOTY even after RDR2. RDR2 turned a lot of people off with its dated gameplay and the fact that it's not particularly fun to play. Impressive visuals only go so far.

Surprised how well God of War is doing -- a lot of times when a game comes out earlier in the year, it's forgotten by awards season.

TGGJustin1979d ago

That hasn't been true for awhile now. Go back and look at recent years and the majority of the time it's a game that came out in the first half of the year. Witcher 3, Zelda, Horizon Zero Dawn, Uncharted 4, Bloodborne, etc.

RDR2 is a lot more fun to play for me, than GoW. It really depends on each player what kind of gameplay they enjoy.

game of the year is subnautica lol

That would still be miles better than Fortnite being GOTY. Subnautica was genuinely a great game. I have nothing against Fortnite, but for me BR games are starting to wear off.
